Instituted 1896, affiliated 1906. The "Golfing Annual" 1896-97 gives 25th January 1896 as the foundation date of the club. The first President was Lt. Gen. Dunham-Massy, the Captain was T. E. Willington and there were sixty members. "The course of nine-holes , is very hilly and there are plenty of natural hazards. On account of the grass, the course is more a winter than a summer green. Tipperary Station is distant half a mile."The East Yorkshire Regiment was stationed in the local military barracks during 1898 and 1899. The onset of the Boer War had a drastic effect on the club. The "Irish Golfer" reported on the 21st March 1900. "The Tipperary club is so depleted through its members having gone to the front that there is great difficulty in keeping up, even the name. The GUI has made the club an honorary member of the union so long as its members are fighting for their country."
